Mannes Orchestra

Led by music director David Hayes and composer, musicologist, and performer Luciano Chessa, the Mannes Orchestra takes the stage in a world premiere performance of Julius Eastman's Symphony No. 2. Known for their bold and adventurous programming, the Mannes Orchestra has been hailed by The New York Times for playing with “inviting warmth and solidity,” and for their “intensity of focus.” The 2018/19 Season has many exciting performances, collaborations, and projects, including performances at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, John L. Tishman Auditorium at The New School, and appearances with the Mannes Opera at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College.
